DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS -- SIXTH YEARS

[Deleted]

the classroom was dark except for the radiant blue light being radiated from the patronus form sitting in front of the chalkboard. calex had touched base on the patronus with his fifth years last year and now he was going to give them the chance to learn how to cast it. he was well equipped with chocolate and he had made the room as cold as he possibly could to mimic the sensation one would feel when they were being attacked by a dementor. calex sat on the stairs at the top of his classroom in the dark waiting for his students to come in. the wolf sat dead in the middle of the classroom, it's wispy form keeping it's eyes trained on the door as the students started to enter.

we'll be posting a total of four times each, after the first round of posting the students will get two chances to cast a patronus charm at a fake dementor. no student will be successful on the first attempt but they may on the second. it's up to you whether you want them to cast it or not but no animal forms. (keep in mind it's a hard spell to master), the fourth round will be students collecting some chocolate that calex will be passing around and then the thread will be finished with calex dismissing them.
posting order as follows, if the person before you hasn't posted in 3 days skip them!

This had to be one of Callie's favorite classes. She got along fairly well with Professor Jakebson, and she enjoyed the things they learned. She had always done great in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but Callie knew at times even she couldn't get everything right. That is specifically why she was more nervous than usual for this current class.

Going back in her memories, she knew that Professor had mentioned to them to remember that they were going to be learning about the Patronus charm this year, as well as Dementors and boggarts. When she walked in, she smiled. "Hello, Professor Jakebson." Callie had him for quite awhile now, and she smiled at the other students in the room as she walked past them. She stood next to Addilyn Slater, a girl she supposed would be best to be nearby to. She was always so happy and giddy, that Callie knew there wouldn't be any issues with her.

The classroom was cold and dark when Nero walked in and he shivered. In the middle of the classroom, a luminescent wolf watched him, and he quickly moved away from the door and out of its gaze.

A Patronus. Nero immediately ran through the things he remembered about the spell from the previous year. A protective force, taking an animal form, powered by a happy memory. Difficult magic. He'd never tried to cast it before, but he had to admit he was excited to try.

But he would need to think of a happy memory. So as his eyes adjusted to the dim light and he waited for class to begin, he started to think of possibilities.

Katya filed into the classroom with the other sixth years. She didn’t know most of them, so while some were with their friends chatting, she was just walking with the group. Even before she entered the classroom, she could see that it was dark. But as soon as she walked in, she was cold. A small smile crossed her face, it reminded her of home. She was a little cold, but it didn’t bother her. The dark classroom only had one light. A blue wolf. Katya knew little about the patronus charm, but she assumed that they would be learning about it today. Hopefully the teacher wouldn’t skip information that he had given the students last year, that she may not have learned at Durmstrang. Katya sat quite far away from the middle of the classroom, where the wolf was sitting, watching the students coming in. She didn’t like dogs, and while the wolf looked quite different from the bear dog that had attacked her as a child, she still didn’t want to be any closer to it than she had to.

Katya sat alone, and brought out her Defense Against the Dark Arts book that was required for this semester. As her eyes adjusted, she looked around the classroom again, trying not look at the wolf. She spotted a man sitting on the stairs at the front of the classroom. He must be their professor, she thought to herself.

A shiver ripped up RJ's spine the moment he stepped foot in the classroom. He wrapped his arms around himself, rubbing furiously to try to warm his skin. As he looked around the room, he realized it was almost completely dark save for the silvery light coming from the front of the room. RJ stared in awe at the wolf-shaped figure sitting proudly before them, and he realized what they would likely be learning. He had plenty of happy memories that could possibly help him cast a patronus, but he didn't understand why the room needed to be so cold for it. In a manner very unlike himself, RJ moved toward the front of the classroom, trying to draw some warmth from Professor Jakebson's patronus.

Hugo walked into the classroom, smiling when he saw the wolf patronus sitting close to the chalkboard. He had a guess as to what they would be learning today and- needless to say- he was excited. He'd grown up seeing his parents use their patronus' and had always wanted to know what his would be. He knew that it was a hard spell, so he rationalized to himself that he might not be able to form a true patronus today, but if he was taught the spell and what to do, maybe he could figure out how to do it on his own time. Still, he wanted to learn this and was excited.

He hurried to a seat and sat down, waiting for everyone else to enter. He couldn't help but watch the wolf, even though it wasn't doing anything.
